For awhile now the Galatia Films team has been working on this contest as well as keeping fans and viewers up to date on everything RTB and Glastonbury related. But all of us thought that something was missing, we wanted to spread the word about the art of the blade and the recovery of long forgotten ancient fencing systems. This contest will allow us to do just that.
Read carefully as there are a lot of really cool perks for those who pays attention. How would you like to win awesome prizes, promote your fencing club and ask Daniel McNicoll and the filmmakers interesting questions? Sounds amazing? Draw your sword and prepare yourself!

It is with a sad heart we say goodbye to the true legend, Bob Anderson, who has passed away . He will forever be remembered as a phenomenal sword master, who has designed and choreographed the most beautiful and breathtaking movie scenes. In the documentary “Reclaiming the Blade” he said: “I never took up the sword, I think the sword took me up.” He will be greatly missed by all of us.
From the director Daniel McNicoll:
‘Bob was intelligent, good spirited and a wonderful teacher, to pay tribute to his talents was an honor. Three great men have since passed on upon making our film. Great artists and weaponsmiths each with serious legacies. Life is good, do what you love, put great quality in everything you do, this is what these men taught me.
Bob Anderson (swordmaster choreographer) 1922 – 2012
Paul Champagne (swordsmith) 1963-2009
Hank Reinhart (sword martial artist, academic) 1934-2007
all greatly missed…‘
